# Creating Trial Links
> Create a free-trial promo link — name, duration, fan limit, expiry, source, and auto-add to a list
A trial link gives new fans free access to a model for a set number of days. Each link is tracked end-to-end, so you can later see how many fans it brought in, how much they spent, and whether the promo paid off.
## Requirements
* Trial Links **View list** and **Create link** permissions
* The model you want to run the trial for is connected and visible in your access scope
* The model's account has a **paid subscription price set** on OnlyFans
OnlyFans only allows a free trial when the account already has a paid subscription price. If the price is not set, the link cannot be created — set the subscription price on OnlyFans first, then come back.
## 1. Open the create dialog
Navigate to **Analytics → Trial Links**, pick the model in the top-left selector, then click **Create Link**.
Nothing loads until you choose a model, so pick the model first.
## 2. Fill in the form
The dialog has six fields. Only the name is required — everything else has a sensible default.
| Field | Required | Options / Limits | What it does |
| -------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Trial Link Name** | Yes | Up to 100 characters | A name you'll recognize later — shown in the table |
| **Trial Duration (days)** | Yes | 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 90, 180, or 360 days | How long each fan's free trial lasts (default 7) |
| **Fan Limit** | No | A set number, or Unlimited | How many fans can claim the link before it stops (default Unlimited) |
| **Link Expires In (days)** | No | 0 = never, up to 30 days | When the link itself stops working (default 0 = never) |
| **Source** | No | Existing source from the list | Where you're promoting it, so you can compare sources later |
| **Add Fans to List** | No | Any OnlyFans list of this model | New claimers are added to the chosen list automatically |
### Trial Link Name
Use a short, descriptive name such as `Reddit_bio_July` or `TikTok_shoutout_2`. The character counter under the field shows how much space is left.
### Trial Duration (days)
Pick how long the free trial lasts for each fan who claims the link. Only the durations OnlyFans allows are offered — **1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 90, 180, or 360 days**.
Duration applies per fan, counted from the moment they claim the link — not from when you created it.
### Fan Limit
Choose how many fans can claim the link before it stops accepting new ones. Leave it on **Unlimited** for an open promo, or set a number to cap a giveaway or a limited drop.
### Link Expires In (days)
Set an expiry so the link stops working after a while — handy for a short campaign. Enter **0** to keep it open forever, or a number up to **30 days**.
Fan Limit and Link Expires In are two different caps. **Fan Limit** stops new claims once enough people use the link; **Link Expires In** stops new claims after the configured number of days. Whichever comes first closes the link to new fans. Each fan who already claimed it keeps the configured **Trial Duration** counted from their claim time.
### Source
Select an existing traffic source from the dropdown, or leave it empty. The create dialog does not create a new source from typed text. If no options are available, create the link without a source and assign one later after the needed source exists. Setting a source lets you compare which channels bring the best fans.
### Add Fans to List
If you pick a list, every fan who claims this trial link is added to that OnlyFans list automatically. This is useful for:
* Segmenting fans from a specific promo for later mass messages
* Giving a cohort access to a private folder or bundle
* Running tailored scripts for fans from that source
Fans are added in the background right after they claim the link. If you change the list later, only new claimers are added — fans already in are left where they are.
## 3. Save and copy the link
Click **Save**. The dialog closes and the new trial link appears at the top of the table.
The **Trial Link** cell shows the full URL — click it to copy. Paste it into your ad, bio, or Linktree.
## Common issues
| Issue | What to check |
| ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| The link won't create ("Access denied") | The model's account needs a paid subscription price set on OnlyFans before a free trial is allowed |
| **Create Link** button is missing | Your role does not include the "Create link" right |
| New fans are not added to the selected list | The list still exists on OnlyFans and the model's account is connected |
| The Source dropdown is empty | No existing sources are available. Leave it blank and assign a source later after one exists. |
| The name won't save | The name must be 100 characters or fewer |
